In ancient Egypt, pets were commonly buried with their owners and cats were sacred animals. People dedicated mummified cats at the sanctuary of the cat goddess Bastet as offerings. The sanctuary was located in the city of Bubastis where the remains of numerous cat mummies and small cat sculptures have been found.

Cats were also pets, just like they are today, and were sometimes mummified and placed in tombs with their owners. The belief was that by placing cats and their owners in the same tomb the pair could remain together in the Afterlife.. The desire to preserve animals as offerings to the gods led to the establishment of an entire industry and the mummification of over 70 million animals, according to a previous Live Science report.

Mummy of an adult cat (hind legs pushed up against the pelvis and the forelegs drawn down the body; skeleton appears to be complete with no signs of trauma; soft tissue present); the wrappings, consisting of narrow strips of linen of light and dark brown, have been skillfully arranged so as to form a repeating lozenge pattern; the facial features have been modelled with applied buttons of coarse linen for the eyes, the corners of the mouth have been internally padded to give a raised appearance, mouth and whiskers are further represented by linen threads and the eyes and mouth have been emphasized with brown paint.

This mummy is that of an old woman. She was called Katebet and her preserved body is wrapped within layers of cloth. The painted mummy mask covering her head has a gilded face and shows her wearing an elaborate wig and white earrings. 
After death, the body of a person of high rank would have been washed and the internal organs removed. After the body had been dried, using natron salt, the area where the organs had been would be packed with wood shavings. Next the skin was coated in resin, and then the body was wrapped in strips of linen. It was placed in a coffin, ready for its long journey to the afterlife.
The mummy-board has acquired a reputation for bringing misfortune, and a vast web of mythology has developed around it. It has been credited with causing death, injury and large-scale disasters.
